Synopsis

Devlin lives in a world where everything is beautiful, ordered and cruel: a prominent member of the High Court, the faery court's assassin and half-brother to Sorcha, the High Queen, he is one of the most powerful faeries of the old guard. Ani lives in a world where every line is blurred: half human, half faery, half in the decadence of the Dark Court and half out of it, her life of dive bars, tattoos and street fights could not be farther from the clean lines of the High Court, and she is driven by hungers no other of her kind shares. But no one can choose where the heart will lead, and when Devlin and Ani meet, two extremes of the faery world collide, with passion, violence and heat; they have reason to fear each other even as they are drawn together to save all of Faerie. The fourth and penultimate Wicked Lovely book.

Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (Wicked Lovely): Five-novel young-adult urban fantasy sequence; companion short stories and a later spin-off novel exist in the same setting but are out of scope for this admission.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
